Chad Petrulis, LCSW

Chad Petrulis is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people dealing with family conflict, stress, and depression. He speaks plainly and aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed. Chad works to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s situation. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in his interactions.

Chad has four years of clinical experience and practices in Montana as an LCSW. He often supports people facing parenting challenges, relationship strain, grief, anger, and struggles with self-esteem. He also works with those coping with addiction, ADHD, and life transitions. He has an interest in supporting teens and people with developmental disabilities and frames interventions around the person in front of him.

In sessions Chad focuses on clear, practical steps rather than jargon. He listens for what matters most and helps set small, achievable goals. Conversations can cover patterns in family relationships, ways to manage strong emotions, and strategies for coping when routines change.

Chad encourages people to be realistic about progress and to try simple tools between meetings. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to individual needs. The aim is to reduce day-to-day stress, improve communication, and help people feel more steady.

Getting started is described as a collaborative process where Chad and the client agree on goals and pacing. He accepts international clients and conducts work in English, and he asks people to choose the Start Therapy button to begin the matching and scheduling steps.
